In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPI:
custom_method: fix potential use-after-free issue In cm_write(), buf is
always freed when reaching the end of the function. If the requested count
is less than table.length, the allocated buffer will be freed but
subsequent calls to cm_write() will still try to access it. Remove the
unconditional kfree(buf) at the end of the function and set the buf to NULL
in the -EINVAL error path to match the rest of function.
